separate

Implement 2D kinematic character movement in Godot 4.7 with CharacterBody2D and move_and_slide(): platformer run/jump with gravity, top-down 8-direction motion, slope handling, and reading collisions. Use when coding a 2D player or enemy controller, a platformer or top-down character, or fixing move_and_slide()/ is_on_floor() behavior in a .tscn with a CharacterBody2D.

When to use

• Use when scripting a 2D player/enemy that moves and collides: platformer (gravity +
• Use when `move_and_slide()` "does nothing", the character sinks through floors, or

When not to use

• dynamic rigid bodies
• areas
• raycasts
• collision layers
• tile-based levels
• full platformer game template
• engine-agnostic feel tuning
